I'm more stunned by this than when people go around and ask college students who the VP is or where is France. Those are facts and you either studied and memorized them or not. That many people suck at "reasoning" about problems boggles my mind. Most these students knew the facts of Newtonian mechanics but could not apply them (in my opinion) to a very simple problem. Not bragging. I must be good enough at reasoning that I am cognitively unable to comprehend that other people have trouble with it. Everyone knows how to breath or think about future. I assumed everyone can take things they know, combine/apply them to new situations. What I would call reason about things. Maybe they can. And the results are an artifact of college environment (study/memorize/pass test vs actually learn/challenge/grow). See, I so can't comprehend it that I'm trying to come up with rationalizations.
